Honoring Professor Hutt: Donate to the Petrie-Flom Center!
Back in January, we had the pleasure of celebrating Peter Barton Hutt's 20 years (so far!) teaching Food and Drug Law during the winter term at Harvard Law School, and we were thrilled to welcome him back as a plenary speaker at our Petrie-Flom Center Annual Conference this May. Peter has worked at the Washington, DC law firm of Covington & Burling, specializing in Food and Drug Law, for more than five decades. He began his law practice with the firm in 1960 and is now Senior Counsel; from 1971-1975, he was Chief Counsel for the Food and Drug Administration. His course at HLS, which regularly achieves the highest ratings from students, covers all aspects of government regulation of food and drugs from ancient times to the present.
Clearly, Peter was the natural choice for a plenary discussing "Historical Themes and Developments Over the Past 50 Years at FDA." Please take a moment to watch the video of his talk, filled with insights only Peter could provide: video.
We hope you will consider helping us further honor Peter and his many contributions to HLS by making a gift to the Petrie-Flom Center. One significant way that your contribution can assist is through the Center's student fellowship program, which provides a select group of Harvard graduate students with extensive mentorship to develop a piece of independent scholarly writing suitable for publication - exactly as Peter has supported so many students through his own course. Petrie-Flom Center student fellows also attend the Health Law Policy and Bioethics workshops at HLS and blog at Bill of Health.

When making a gift, please indicate it is in Professor Hutt's honor and is to support the Petrie-Flom Center. If you have questions on how to make a gift, please call 617-495-3114 or email alumrec@law.harvard.edu.
